Bail for child porn accused

A Canberra man allegedly found with pornographic pictures of his young daughter has been released on bail.

The man who can not be named for legal reasons runs a small IT business in Canberra and is an expert in computers and the internet.

Earlier in March police arrested him after a undercover officer began contacting him via email about child pornography.

He was charged with using the internet to access child pornography, but since his arrest police have also found images of his daughter.

At a bail application the prosecution said if he was released then Magistrate Peter Morrison should ban him from using the internet, but a work colleague gave evidence that the IT business would not survive if such a rule were put in place.

Magistrate Morrison ordered the man to only access the web for work purposes and to tell the Australian Federal Police about any computers he uses.

You have no doubt been hearing a lot about the Paris Agreement and know that it pertains to climate change, but are too embarrassed at this stage to ask for an overall explanation of what it's all about.
